Live Music: Erik Flores

Erik Flores is a Texas singer songwriter whose stories and music shed a little light on the things we all seem to face from time to time. Erik started his career in Austin,TX and after a handful of loud and eclectic years he eventually found himself in Los Angeles where he reconnected with his love of Americana/Country music. After starting the band Fairbanks & the Lonesome Light, gaining some notoriety and releasing two albums, he returned home to Texas and landed in the small Hill Country town of Driftwood where he continues to write and record. His band Fairbanks & the Lonesome Light is shared with singer/writer Amelia Rose Logan. It revolves around a collection of songs written in two part harmony and built on a solid foundation of Indie Americana music. They draw from the same traditions that Jeff Tweedy, The Band, Neil Young, Gillian Welch and other similar artists seem to veer toward. Erik’s solo performances pull from this catalogue and from his always growing collection of new songs, but lean a little harder into his classic Texas influences.
